We need to take a refcount on the link whenever we expect a callback. The exceptions
are the ipv4ll/dhcp clients as their lifetimes are guaranteed to be shorter than that
of the link.
Otherwise:
eth0: unknown link flags gained: 0x00040 (ignoring)
[tomegun: hiding these messages is ok, as IFF_RUNNING is redundant
and can be deduced from operstate and IFF_LOWER_UP]
Clarify that we are waiting for any link to reach 'carrier' state, regardless
of who manages it. This will be useful when we add support for waiting for more
operational states.
To make sure we don't delay boot on systems where (some) network links are managed by someone else
we don't block if something else has successfully brought up a link.
We will still block until all links we are aware of that are managed by networkd have been
configured, but if no such links exist, and someone else have configured a link sufficiently
that it has a carrier, it may be that the link is ready so we should no longer block.
Note that in all likelyhood the link is not ready (no addresses/routes configured),
so whatever network managment daemon configured it should provide a similar wait-online
service to block network-online.target until it is ready.
The aim is to block as long as we know networking is not fully configured, but no longer. This
will allow systemd-networkd-wait-online.service to be enabled on any system, even if we don't
know whether networkd is the main/only network manager.
Even in the case networking is fully configured by networkd, the default behavior may not be
sufficient: if two links need to be configured, but the first is fully configured before the
second one appears we will assume the network is up. To work around that, we allow specifying
specific devices to wait for before considering the network up.
This unit is enabled by default, just like systemd-networkd, but will only be pulled in if
anyone pulls in network-online.target.
This properly detects the state of the link based on both the link flags and the
operstate.
Moreover, always log state-changes even if we are not yet managing the link.
Avoid having two code-paths racing with eacother to do the same thing. The change
of flags will be detected in the normal way, so only use the link_up_handler
to detect if the 'up' failed and in that case fail the link.
This reverts commit cdc85c875b.
There appears to be a kernel bug that (among other things) cause bridges
not to get a bridge id set when supplying IFLA_ADDRESS when creating the
netdev.
Simply revert the whole thing until we sort this out in the kernel.

We may receive RTM_NEWLINK messages with missing LINKINFO after the initial NEWLINK message,
don't bother verifying these, just drop out early after checking that the ifindex is not in conflict.
This essentially swaps the roles of rtnl and udev in networkd. After this
change libudev is only used for waiting for udev to initialize devices and
to get udev-specific information needed for some [Match] attributes.
This in particular simplifies the code in containers where udev is not really
useful, but also simplifies things and reduces round-trips in the non-container
case.
Usually RUNNING implies LOWER_UP, but for drivers that don't support oper state, RUNNING can
also mean that the state is unknown. In that case we should just trust LOWER_UP directly.
